UK Payroll - Automatically assign employee number when bulk importing new employees
There is a new feature on Xero Payroll that creates employee numbers automatically on employee creation. A great new feature, it gets my vote. It would be good if this worked for bulk import, e.g. by setting the employee number field in the import as blank. (When I tried this it didn't work).

Quote & Invoice lists - View Projects
Projects - I would like to see the references for each invoice in the list of quotes and invoices on projects. It is difficult to tack what you have invoiced when you have to open each individual invoice.

Management report - Full Year forecast Report
In the old Xero reports as part of the management report, it was possible to run a report that showed month by month actuals for the FY to date then the budget month by the month for the rest of the financial year to give a full year forecast.
However, in the new Xero reports, this functionality has gone. Try and write my own report but the dates don't update automatically regardless of the reporting date you select (as confirmed by a Xero specialist)
So I can write a report that shows 4 columns - Jan - Apr actuals, then May - December budget and a total. BUT this can be run each month unless I re-write the report.
This is a fundamental report for businesses looking ahead and needs to be replicated in the new reports.

Contacts - Add 'invoice description' to Supplier & Customer activity feed
I would like to ask if there is a possibility of having on suppliers' and customers' activity bar (please see attached screenshot, what I mean) and one more column - bill/invoice description? I used to work with QuickBooks, and they had this feature, which was very helpful.

Cash Coding - Include columns for all statement line information
Can we please view more than the current bank statement lines in cash coding?
At the moment you can only view 4 bank statement lines in the cash coding tab. Date, Payee, Reference & Description.
We have found that sometimes we have clients using the Analysis Code, particulars or Code to reference details for the bank payment so when these come through to cash coding the view only items are all blank.4 votes -
Xero files - QR code to allow vendor to email cash purchase receipts to Xero
Say I go to a supplier and make a cash purchase. I use my debit card and then walk out with goods and a receipt. Scanning the receipt to Xero and coding the purchase if easy but I am pretty slack and normally lose the receipt before I get to scan it. What say, the vendor scans a QR code that I carry containing my email/Xero info and this allows the vendor's system to email me the purchase document. No paper and I can code the purchase when I am at my PC later in the day. Also means I am more likely to remember to charge the client if it is an item for a specific job. There will be other ways to do this without the need for a paper receipt from a cash purchase, this is just how I imagine it working.

Transactions report - all info in one line per transaction (not a second PST line)
Report for "Account Transactions" should only produce one line per transaction.
Currently, the report splits off a separate line for the PST component of each transaction, adding "- PST" in the description and to the contact name, and pulls the PST amount out of "Gross".
I need an account transaction report that includes GST, PST and the unit price in "gross" on a single line per transaction. These gross values will match the bank statement, and have the description/reference/contact and the account(s) the transaction was coded to.
The easiest approach is to have additional columns to select from, and (critically) only one line per transaction. Columns could be: "Gross", "PST", "GST", "Net" ... so if a purchase was made on $100 with 5% GST and 7% PST, the line would look like:
Date / Purchased Item / $112 Gross / $7 PST / $5 GST / $100 Net / Description / Contact / etc.
Currently, to get that kind of report, I need to export a CSV and use spreadsheet magic to isolate out the PST lines, and then add the PST back into the "gross"!

Email to Bills - Ability to email CSV files as well as PDF
Presently, to create a draft bill in Xero from a bill that has been received in the csv format, the csv bill has to be imported manually. It would be easier to be able to email the csv bill to the unique bills email address and have a draft bill created in Xero.
4 votesHi team, as noted in my last update we have introduced a new feature to upload bills to your organisation - However to confirm this only supports JPG, PNG, or PDF file types.
Currently email to bills supports quite a few different file types however as noted here CSV is not one of them. We want to be upfront that at this point we don't have any plans for extending this feature to support CSV formatted files.

UK Payroll - Option to select when Employers NI is cleared against allowances
Currently Xero is set up to nil off both the Employer NI Expense GL and Liability GL as soon as payroll is run because employers NI contribution is always setoff against HMRC allowances.
However, it is important to have employers NI contribution cleared only when remittances are made to HMRC and when HMRC send allowances (which is always a month accrued). The allowances are setoff against the employers NI expense GL.
This treatment will allow the accountant to respond to remittances made to HMRC in terms of employers NI and allowances received from HMRC accordingly.
It will also allow the firm to know the total employers NI contributed or total allowances from HMRC so far in the year without going through the payroll report. And provides adequate reconciliations of HMRC allowances.
It is recommended that the current employers pension setup in Xero payroll where both the liability and expense are provided for should be adopted for employers NI setup.

Invoice Templates - Make a separated option for Quantity and Unit Price
Please could you allow the ability in Invoice settings for invoice templates, to show only the quantity and not the unit price. Separating these would allow to show how much of a material is used.

Expenses - Feature to identify if a transaction is tax deductible
Create a feature to identify whether an expense is tax deductible or non-tax deductible under Bill, Expense, and Journal. This will be extremely beneficial to the SME Accountant when preparing tax computations.

Reporting - Text justification options
It would be great if we could adjust the justification of text in financial statements. Yes, each to his own is accepted but some like the left indent and some like the evenly justified (which just looks neater). Here's to hoping it can happen.

Universal Search to search unreconciled transactions
Universal search should include Unreconciled Transactions Too.
We often search the amount of spend money or bill in universal search but we cannot find the unreconciled transaction through the Universal Search.
Kindly do something for this..
Many thanks
11 votesIs there a specific element / field of the transactions that you're trying to search by?
Currently there are a range of details that you can search by and Xero will return results for transactions that have been entered in your org (reconciled or unreconciled)

Invoice templates - Ability to show project
Requested that Xero pull the project names to put on invoices. The information is already entered, would be a big time saver to auto-populated to project name on an invoice rather than manually typing it in

My Xero | Organisation - Make the whole box clickable rather than just name
This is a minor User Interface bug that has been bugging me for years.
Basically, almost every time I go to the my.xero.com Organisations page I end up clicking and waiting then realising I haven't clickedin the special place that works. The user interface here is misleading. Whenever your mouse curse enters the large box containing the name of one of your companies, that whole line highlights. But the only place you can click to actually get it to go to that company's dashboard is the text of the company name.
Everywhere else in xero, you can click in the box and don't have to lcikc the actual text, so 95% of the time your intuition is being trained one way, and then whenever you need to switch companies, it is betrayed.
I realise there are other links to the right, like Access and the subscription Info, Upgrade and Transfer buttons, but that's no excuse for highlighting the whole row and then not making it clickable.
The best solution, would be to let the whole box go to that company's dashboard, but thecheap and dirty solution would be to turn off the highlight onenter for that row.

Contacts - Multiple reference numbers for one Contact
it would be great to be able to have multiple reference numbers for one contact, so that way if you have multiple jobs for one company, it can be under the same name. instead of having to make up multiple contacts for the same person.

Find and Recode - Option to bulk change Due Dates

Reporting | Financial statements - Adjust formatting
Please consider adding more customisable options for the financial statements as they do not look professional when compared with Sage Handisoft reports (for instance).
Just to start off, there should be an option to remove the horizontal lines across the page on each account and heading, change indentation, font & in particular font size. The font size is so small it should be close to double that!
28 votesThanks for your valued feedback here everyone. Considering elements mentioned we wanted to highlight Report styles which are available to Xero Partners through Reports in Xero HQ.
With Report styles Partners can now set logos, change the colour of report titles and size of the font in reports, across client organisations.
We appreciate there are other improvements mentioned that you'd like to see capabilities expanded too and will continue to track the interest and share any more improvements of this with you all.
